Start your story with Peters

"Peters were fantastic at knowing exactly what we needed and guiding us to ensure we got the most out of our order. The books chosen have been loved by the children in our schools."

Alex Barton - Class Teacher, Copdock Primary School and Bentley Primary School

"Peters is my very favourite place to buy books for our school library. It is so easy to buy books online with them and find out exactly what the book is about beforehand. I can also check recommended age groups and age-appropriate warnings which is such a help. I order my books with plastic covers too which saves me so much time. Thank you Peters for your brilliant and prompt service!"

Ruth Walker - Librarian, Elstree School

"The library that Peters designed for us is perfect for our school. The students have been very excited by our new space, and often comment on how calm it feels. There is a real buzz around the library now, which wasn't there before."

Danielle Rose - Librarian , The Streetly Academy

"We have had a big drive on Reading for Pleasure and with the brilliant support of Peters we have been very successful in developing a Reading for Pleasure culture in school. So many more children are able to talk about favourite authors and make suggestions to each other about what to read next."

Katie Hutchison - Reading Leader, Scraptoft Valley Primary

"Peters took the time to understand our brief and really get to know the needs of our pupils. They then put together a wonderfully diverse and inclusive range of books so our pupils can see themselves reflected, read the classics, read a book in their home language. We now have a library that is just right for our pupils and will be a place where reading is loved!"

Rebecca Eaton - Headteacher, Conway Primary School, Birmingham

"I would order with Peters every time. We have made several large orders in the last few years, completely replacing all our library books and they have made it so easy and exciting with a wonderful range of books. They are helpful, timely and brilliantly organised. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"
